“All My Baby Mamas”…Well, What Do You Expect When You Try to Normalize Dysfunction??

December 27, 2012 | Christelyn Karazin |

This morning I got wind of yet another ratchety reality show, this one centering on the misadventures of a black male seed-spreader with 10 baby mamas and 11 children. Frankly, I’m surprised it took Hollywood this long to poke fun of and put on display the dysfunction that is rampant in the black community, with fatherless children pissed as hell and black women who think they have no other options for a family than to become brood mares for non-committal partners. Here’s the skinny:

In the first episode of “All My Babies’ Mamas,” the Atlanta rapper (Shawty Lo) flips the TLC polygamy drama “Sister Wives” on its weaved head and reveals how his 10 baby mamas, 11 children and one girlfriend co-exist under one roof. Each baby mama carries a specific title while the “Black Hugh Hefner” handles his business. But can he keep them all in check?

He looks so proud of himself, no? This is the answer to “Sister Wives?” Please. While “Sister Wives” is viewed as rare and definitively shunned by whites, multiple baby mamas is the norm in the black community. The only difference is that he’s got all his “ho’s” under one roof so we can all watch in horror while they all eat each other.

Oh my God in heaven, it tears my heart right out of my chest that these women think this shit is so normal. The seed-spreaders ought to be ashamed to behaving lesser than men, but when this mess happens 80% of the time, there’s not a whole lot of shame and guilt going on. Meanwhile the kids of these transient unions are pissed as hell, underperform in school, get knocked up early and often, often get into the prison system and die early. It’s become so normal that there are those who say that the constraints of marriage is “patriarchal oppression and respectability politics.” Ugh. In a never-ending attempt to defend the indefensible, we have writers like Tamara Winfrey Harris, who wrote in Bitch magazine about the woes of black women and the constraints they feel about being respectable to society by supporting procreating with the benefit and protection of a father around. She compares how the multiple pregnancies (and multiple daddies) of Erica Badu and the announcement of Jay Z and Beyonce’s little bundle was received by the public in two distinct ways–Badu was basically seen as a brood mare for the black community and was given all the “respect” that comes with that title, while Beyonce was widely praised for procreating within wedlock to give her child the maximum opportunity for success with the benefit of both parents.

I swear, as much as these rabid feminists wish all men would just die, it does the child no damn good to be brought into situations like this. It’s wrong. It’s amoral. It’s damn selfish. Refer to the clip I posted, you’ve got different mamas complaining that their children aren’t been treated as well as another mama’s children. Honey, did you think you were gonna be SPECIAL?! Newsflash–YOU ARE NOT SPECIAL. IF A MAN WANTS YOU TO HAVE HIS CHILD WITHOUT THE BENEFIT AND PROTECTION OF MARRIAGE YOU ARE A BROOD MARE. You will be treated accordingly. Please stop listening to feminists who want to green-light this behavior for others, but would never DREAM of doing so themselves.

And for the men you think what makes a man is a seven-inch cock that functions, you are not men. You are selfish boys with no conscious or self-control. You are WEAKLINGS. You are not thinkers. You are worthless. You leave your children to twist in the wind and blame the mothers for it all. You are cowards.

As the black community continues to rubber stamp destructive behavior and lunacy, don’t be surprised when the main stream media makes your coonery the laughing stock of reality television. And remember, they’re laughing at you, not with you.

And if anyone takes issue with me calling black single mothers like the ones featured in that sizzle reel “brood mares,” I don’t give a crap. Don’t expect respect from others when you won’t have any for yourself.
